The in 2020 new developed illuminated rain gutter for sliding doors of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (since year of construction 2006 until present) or the similar model Volkswagen Crafter I (YOC 2006 until November 2016). See also the heading "Good to know!"
Who has not made the experience yet? After rain there is still remaining water on the vehicle roof, which is often going the way down as soon as you open the sliding door. Not infrequently, you are even hit by such a watering. But mostly the water runs directly into the vehicle interior.
With the rain gutter RainTec RT100 from Dometic this does not happen anymore. Even with the sliding door open, this rain gutter ensures in the future that water will be drained away from the sliding door. And it was a brilliant idea to provide the gutter with an integrated LED light bar. Thus, in addition, a good illumination of the area in front of the sliding door will prevent some accidents. And because the light can also be dimmed, nothing stands in the way of a pleasant evening mood.

Both of the above vehicle models were produced in cooperation between Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen between 2006 and 2016, so that they are usually identical except for the front design and engine. Since November 2016, Volkswagen has been producing the Crafter (successor model Crafter II) on its own again. This LED rain gutter was developed on the basis of the Sprinter, so it is not yet known whether it can also be used for the sliding door area of the Crafter II!
The integrated lighting must not be used while driving, but only when stationary.
Use a switch (optional) or the Dometic LED dimmer FFB8 (also optional) to conveniently operate the lighting.
